If Mr. Ilenshaw indulged in any further curiosity regarding the interior of the Pontiac he did not make his active re¬ searches manifest to Rosey. Nor, in spite of her father’s invitation, did ho again approach tho galley—a fact which gave her her first vague impression in his favor. He seemed also to avoid the various ad¬ vances which Mr. Nott appeared impelled to make whenever they met in the pas¬ sage, but did so without seemingly avoid¬ ing her, and marked his half con¬ temptuous indifference to the elder Nott by an increase of respect to the young girl. She would havo liked to ask him something about ships, and was sure his conversation would have been more inter¬ esting than that of old Capt. Bower, to whose cabin he had succeeded, who had once told her a ship was the “devil's hen¬ coop." She would have liked also to ex¬ plain to him that she was not in the habit of wearing a purple bonnet. But her thoughts were presently engrossed by an experience which interrupted the even tenor of her young life. She had been, as she afterward remem¬ bered, impressed with a nervous restless¬ ness one afternoou, which made it impos¬ sible for her to perform her ordinary household duties, or even to indulge her favorite recreation of reading or castle building. She wandered over the ship, and, impelled by the same vague feeling of unrest, descended to the lower deck anil the forward bulkhead where she had dis¬ covered the open hatch. It had rot been again disturbed, nor was there any trace of further exploration. A little ashamed, she knew not why, of revisiting the scene of Mr. Renshaw’s researches, she was turning back, when she noticed that the door which communicated with de Fer- rieres’ loft was partly open. Tho circum¬ stance was so uuusual that she stopped before it in surprise. There was no sound from within; it was the hour when its qpeer occupant was always absent; he must have forgotten to lock the door or it had been unfastened by other hands. After a moment of hesitation she pushed it further open and stepped into the room. By the dim light of two portholes she could see that the floor was strewn and piled with the contents of a broken bale of curled horse liajr, of which a few un¬ touched bales still remained against the wall. A heap of morocco skins, some already cut in the form of chair cushion covers, and a few cushions unfinished and unstuffed lay in the light of the port% and gave the apartment the appearance of a cheap workshop. A rude instrument for combing the horsehair, awls, buttons and tlireud heaped on a small bench showed that active work had been but recently interrupted. A cheap earthen¬ ware ewer and basin on the floor, and a pallet made of an open bale of horse hair, on which a ragged quilt and olanket were flung, indicated that tho solitary worker dwelt and slept beside his work. The truth flashed upon the young girl’s active brain, quickened by seclusion and fed by solitary books. She read with keen eyes the miserable secret of her father's strange guest in the poverty stricken walls, in the mute evidences of menial handicraft performed in loneliness and privation, in this piteous adaptation of an accident to save tho • conscious shame of premeditated toil. She knew now why ho had stammeringly refused to receive her father’s offer to buy back the goods he had given him; she knew now how hardly gained was the pittance that paid his rent and supported his childish vanity and grotesque pride. From a peg in the corner hung the familiar masquerade that hid his poverty—the pearl gray trousers, the black frock coat, the tall shining hat—in hideous contrast to the penury of his sur¬ roundings. But if they were here, where was he, and in what disguise had he es¬ caped from his poverty? A vague uneasi¬ ness caused her to hesitate and return to the open door. She had nearly reached it when her eye fell on the pallet which it partly illuminated. A singular resem¬ blance in the ragged heap made her draw closer. The faded quilt was a dressing gown, and clutching its folds lay a white, wasted hand. The emigrant childhood of Rose Nott had been more than once shadowed by scalping knives, and she was acquainted with death. She went fearlessly to the couch, and found that the dressing gown was only an enwrapping of the emaciated and lifeless body of de Ferrieres. She did not retreat or call for help, but examined him closely. He was unconscious, but not pulseless; he had evidently been strong enough to open the door for air or succor, but had afterward fallen in a lit on the couch. She flew to her father’s locker and the galley Are, returned and shut the door behind her, and by the skill¬ ful use of hot water and whisky soon had the satisfaction of seeing a faint color take the place of the faded rouge in the ghastly cheeks. She was still chafing hi3 hands when he slowly opened his eyes. With a start, he made a quick attempt to push aside her hands and rise. But she gently restrained him. “Eh—what!” he stammered, throwing his face back from hers with an effort and trying to turn it to the wall. “You have been ill," she said quietly. “Drink this." With his face still turned away he lifted tho cup to his chattering teeth. When he had drained it he threw' a trem¬ bling glance around the room and at the door. “There’s no one been here but myself,” she said quickly. “I happened to see the door open as I passed. I didn’t think it worth while to call any one." The searching look ho gave her turned into an expression of relief, which, to her infinite uneasiness, again feebly lightened into one of antiquated gallantry. Ho drew the dressing gown around him with an air. “Ah! it is a goddess, mademoiselle, that has deigned to enter the cell where— where—i—amuse—my*eut. n is droll— is it not? I came here to make—what yon call—the experiment of year father’s fabric. I make myself—ha! ha!—like a workman. Ah, bah! the heat, the dark¬ ness, the plebeian motion make my head to go round. I stagger, I faint, I cry oat, I fall. But what of that? The great God hears my cry aud sends me an angel. Voila!” He attempted an easy gesture of gal¬ lantry, but overbalanced himself and fell sideways on the pallet with a gasp. Yet there w as so much genuine feeling mixed with his grotesque affectation, so much piteous consciousness of the ineffectiveness of his falsehood, that the young girl, who had turned away, came back and laid her hand upon his am. “You must lie still aud try to sleep,” she said gently. “I will return again. Perhaps,” she added, “there is some one I can semi for.” He shook his head violently. Then in his old manner added, “After mademoi¬ selle—no one.” “I mean”—she hesitated; “have you no friends?” “Friends—ah! without doubt.” He shrugged his shoulders. “But mademoi¬ selle will comprehend’ ’- “You are better now," said Rosey quickly, “aud nooue need know anything if you don’t wish it. Try to sleep. You need not lock the door when I go; I will see that no one comes in. ” He flushed faintly and averted his eyes. “It is too droll, mademoiselle, is it not?!’ “Of course it is,” said Rosey, glancing round the miserable room. “And mademoiselle is an angel." V— _ 'vt'iirf mademoiselle is an angel." He carried her hand to his lips humbly —his first purely unaffected action. She slipped through the door, and softly closed it behind her. • Reaching tho upper deck she was re¬ lieved to find her father had not returned, and her absence had been unnoticed. For she had resolved to keep de Ferrieres’ secret to herself from the moment that she had unwittingly discovered it, and to do this and still be able to watch over hint without her father’s knowledge required some caution. She was conscious of his strange aversion to the unfortunate man without tinderstanding the reason, but as she was in the habit of entertaining his caprices more from affectionate tolerance of his weakness than reverence of his judgment, she saw no disloyalty to him in withholding a confidence that might tie disloyal to another. “It won’t do father any good to know it,” she said to herself, “and if it did it oughtn’t to,” she added with triumphant feminine logic. But the impression made upon her by the spec¬ tacle she had just witnessed was stronger than any other consideration. The revela¬ tion of de Ferrieres’ secret poverty seemed a chapter from a romance of her own weaving; for a moment it lifted the mis¬ erable hero out of the depths of his folly and selfishness. She forgot the weakness of the man in the strength of liisdrnmatic surroundings. It partly satisfied a crav¬ ing she had felt; it was not exactly the story of the ship, as she had dreamed it, but it was an episode in her experience of it that broke its monotony. That she should soon learn, perhaps from de Fer¬ rieres’ .own lips, the true reason of his strange seclusion, and that it involved more than appeared to her now, she never for a moment doubted. At t ho ended an hour she again knocked softly at the door, carrying some light nourishment she had prepared for him. He was asleep, but she was astounded to find that in the interval he had managed to dress himself completely in his anti¬ quated finery. It was a momentary shock to the illusion she had been foster¬ ing, but she forgot it in the pitiable con¬ trast between his haggard face and his pomatumed hair and beard, the jaunti¬ ness of his attire and the collapse of his invalid figure. When she had satisfied herself that his sleep was natural, she busied herself softly in arranging the niis- able apartment. With a few feminine touche; she removed the slovenliness of misery, aud placed the loose material and ostentatious evidences of !:L v.ork on one side. Finding that he still slept, and knowing the importance of this natural medication, she placed the refreshment she lmd brought hy his side and noise¬ lessly quitted the apartment. Hurrying through the gathering darkness between decks, she once or twice thought she had heard footsteps and paused, but, encoun¬ tering i;oone, attributed the impression to her over consciousness. Yet she thought it prudent to go to the galley first, where she lingered a few moments before re¬ turning to the cabin. On entering she was a little startled at observing a figure seated at her father's desk, but was re¬ lieved at finding it was Mr. Kcnshaw. He rose and put aside the hook he had idly picked up. “I am afraid I am not an intentional intruder tills time, Miss Nott. But I found no one here, and I was tempted to look into this shipshape little snuggery. \*ou see the temptation got the better of me.” Hi3 voice and smile were so frank and pleasant, so free from his previous re¬ straint yet still respectful, so youthful yet manly, that Rosey was affected by them even in her preoccupation. Her eyes brightened and then dropped before Lis admiring glance. Had she known that the excitement of the last few hours had brought a wonderful charm into her pretty face, had aroused the slumbering life of her ball wakened beauty, she would have been more confused. As it was she w only glad that ine young man should turn out to bo “nice." Per¬ haps he might tell her something about ships; perhaps if die had onlv known him longer she might, with de Ferrieres’ per- mission, have shared her confidence with him and enlisted his sympathy aud assist¬ ance. She contented herself with show¬ ing this anticipatory grutitude in her face as she begged him, with the timidity of a maiden hostess, to resume hi - ». But Mr, Renshaw mumii- i dk only to make her talk, and I urn ,viced to ad¬ mit that Rosey found this almost ns pleasant. It was not long before he was in possession of her simple history from the day of her baby emigrate to Cali¬ fornia to the transfer of her t Idish life to the old ship, and even of m oh of the romantic fancies she had woven into her existence there. Whatever ulterior pur¬ pose he had in view, he listened atten¬ tively as if her artless chronicle was filled with practical information. Once, when she hod paused for breath, he said grave¬ ly, “I must ask yon to show me over this wonderful ship some day that I may see it with your eyes.” “But I think yon know it already better than I do,” said Rosey with a smile. Mr. Rensbaw’s brow clouded slightly. “Ah,” he said, with a touch of his former restraint; “and why?” “Well," said Rosey timidly, “I thought yon went round and touched things in a familiar way as if you had handled them before." Tho young man raised his eyes to Rosey’s and kept them There long enough to bring back his gentler expression. “Then, because I found you trying on a very queer bonnet the first day I saw yon,” he said, mischievously, “I ought, to believe you were in the habit of wearing one.” . In the first flush of mutual admiration young people are apt to find a laugh quite as significant as a sigh for an expression of sympathetic communion, and this master stroke of wit convulsed them both. In the midst of it Mr. Nott entered the cabin. But the complacency with which ho viewed the evident perfect understanding of the pair was destined to suffer some abatement. Rosey, suddenly conscious that •he was in some way participating in rid¬ icule of her father through his unhappy gift, became embarrassed. Mr. Ren¬ shaw’s restraint returned with the pres¬ ence of the old man. In vain, at first, Abner Nott strove with profound levity to Indicate his arch comprehension of tho situation, and in vain, later, becoming alarmed, he endeavored, with cheerful gravity, to indicate his utter oblivious¬ ness of any but a business significance in in their tete-a-tete. “I oughtn’t to hev intruded, Itosey,” he said, “when you and the gentleman were talkin’ of contracts, mebbee; but den’t mind me. I’m on the fly, anyhow, Rosey dear, hevin’ to see a man round the corner.” But even the attitude of withdrawing dkl not prevent the exit of Renshaw tc his apartment and of Rosey to the galley. Left alone in the cabin, Abner Nott felt in the knots and tangles of his beard for a reason. Glancing down at liis prodig¬ ious boots, which, covered with mud and gravel, strongly emphasized lii.s agricul¬ tural origin, and gave him a general ap¬ pearance of standing on his own broad acres, lie was struck with an idea. “It’s them boots,” he whispered to himself, softly; “they somehow don't eem ’xuctly to trump or follow suit m tb;-< > <• cabin; they don’t hitih i ..<< . m : : u jbt »losh round ! « . .. play it alone. And them young critters nat’- rally feels it and gets out o’ the way.” Acting upon this instinct With his usual precipitate caution, he at once proceeded to tho nearest second hand shop, and, purchasing a pair of enormous carpet slippers, originally the property of a gouty sea captain, reappeared with a strong suggestion of newly upholstering the cabin. The improvement, however, was fraught with a portentous circum¬ stance. Mr. Nott’s footsteps, which usually announced his approach all over the ship, became stealthy and inaudible. Meantime Miss Rosey had taken advan¬ tage of the absence of her father to visit her patient. To avoid attracting atten¬ tion she did not take a light, but groped her way to the lower deck and rapped softly at the door. It was instantly opened by de Ferrieres. He had appar¬ ently appreciated the few changes she had already made in the room, and hail him¬ self cleared away the pallet from which he had risen to make two low seats against tho wilt. Two bits of candle placed on the floor illuminated the beams above, the dressing gown was artistically draped over the solitary chair, and a pile of cushions formed nnother seat. With elaborate courtesy he handed Miss Rosey to the chair. He looked pale and weak, though the gravity of the attack had evi¬ dently passed. Yet he persisted in re¬ maining standing. “If I sit,” he ex¬ plained with a gesture, “I shall again dis¬ grace myself by sleeping in mademoiselle’s presence. Yes! I shall sleep—I shall dream—and wake to find her gone?” More embarrassed by his recovery than when he was lying helplessly before her, she said hesitatingly that she was glad he was better, and that she hoped lie liked the broth. “It was manna from heaven, mademoi¬ selle. See. I have taken it all—every pre¬ cious drop. What else could I have done for mademoiselle's kindness?” He showed her the empty bow L A »wift conviction came upon her that the man had been s uffering from want of food The thought restored her »elf possession even while it brought the tears to her eyes. 1 ‘I wish you would let me speak to father—or some ore." she said impulsive¬ ly, and stopped. A quj/k and half insane gleam of terror and suspicion lit up his deep eyes. “For what, mademoiselle? For an accident— that is nothing—absolutely nothing, for I am strong and well now—see!” he said tremblingly. “Or for a whim—for a folly you may say, that they will misunder¬ stand. No, mademoiselle is good, is wise. She will say to herself, ‘I understand, my friend Monsieur de Ferrieres for the mo¬ ment has a secret. He would seem poor, he would take the role of artisan, be would shut himself up in these walls— perhaps I may g».e"s why, but it is his secret. I think of it no more.’” He caught her fc..nd in his with a gesture that would nave mane one ot gallantry, but. in its tremulous intensity became a supplication. will “I have said nothing, and say if you wish it,” said Roeey “but others may find out how live here. This Is not fit work for You seem to be a—a gqpUeman. You ought to Iks a lawyer, or a doctor, or a bank,” she continued timidly, with a vague enumeration of the prevailing de¬ grees of local gentility. He dropped her hand. “Ah! docs not mademoiselle comprehend that it is l>e- canse I am a gentleman that there is nothing between it and this? Look!” he continued almost fiercely. “What if I told you it is the lawyer, it is the doctor, it is the banker that brings me, a gentle- tnan, to this, eh? Ah, bah! What do I say? This is honest, what I do! But the lawyer, the banker, the doctor, what are they?” 11c shrugged his shoulders, and pacing the apartment with a furtive glauce at the half anxious, half frightened girl, suddenly stopped, dragged a small portmanteau from behind the heap of bales and opened it. “Look, mademoi¬ selle,’’ he said, tremulously lifting a hand¬ ful of worn and soiled letters and papers. “Look—these are the tools of your banker, your lawyer, your doctor. With this the banker will make you poor, the lawyer will prove you a thief, the doctor will swear you ure crazy, eh? What shall you call the work of a gentleman—this”—he dragged the pile of cushions forward—“or this?” To the young girl’s observant eyes some of the papers appeared to be of a legal or official character, and others like bills of lading, with which she was familiar. Their half theatrical exhibition reminded her of some play she had seen; they might he the clew to some story, or the mere worthless hoardings of a diseased fancy. Whatever they were, de Ferrieres did not apparently care to explain further; in¬ deed, the next moment his manner changed to his old absurd extravagance. “But this is stupid for mademoiselle to hear. What shall we speak off Ah! what should we speak of in made¬ moiselle’s presence?” “But are not these papers valuable?” asked Rosey, partly to draw her host’s Uionghts hack to their former channel. ” “Perhaps.” He paused and regarded the young girl fixedly. “Does mademoi¬ selle think so?” “I don’t know,” said Rosey. “How should I?” “Ah! if mademoiselle thought so—if mademoiselle would deign”— He stopped again and placed his hand upon his fore¬ head. “It might be so!” he muttered. “I must co now,” said Rosey hur- rtedlj', with an awkward sense of constraint. “Father will wonder where I am.” “I shall explain. I will accompnny you, mademoiselle.” “No, no,” said Rosey, quickly; “he must not know I have been here!” She stopped. The honest blush flew to her cheek, and then returned again, because she had blushed. De Ferrieres gazed at her with an ex¬ alted look. Then drawing himself to his full height, lie said, with an exaggerated and indescribable gesture, “Go, my child, go. Tell your father that you havo been alone and unprotected in the abode of poverty and suffering, but—that it was in the presence of Arniand do Ferrieres.” He threw open the door with a bow that nearly swept the ground, but did not again offer to tnko her hand. At ones impressed and embarrassed at this crown¬ ing incongruity, her pretty lip trembled between a smile and a cry as she said, “Good night,” aud slipped away inti the darkness. Erect and grotesque do Ferrieres re¬ tained the same attitude until the sound of her footsteps was lost, when he slowly began to close the door. But a etrong arm arrested it from without and a large carpeted foot appeared at the bottom of the narrowing opening. The door yielded and Mr. Abner Nott entered the room [TO -M CONTINUED,] The Best of All.
